A Cuban migrant is searching for the recipients of ICE letters sent by mistake to her address in Miami.
“Good morning, dear group, yesterday afternoon these two letters arrived in my mail, whoever knows the people, please let them know and contact me this way, or come to the address described to deliver it personally. Greetings”, commented Yenis Gómez Gonzálezin the Facebook group “I220A with and without Cuban Adjustment cut-off date.”
The names of the recipients seen on the letters: they are Imelda Gómez Guzmán and Eduardo Pérez Gómez.
Apparently it is parole letters granted to migrants who entered the US through the border with the I220-A visa.
“We are also waiting for parole… I also have the last name Gómez. I really don’t know what to do haha… the right thing to do is not to open it,” Yenis commented shortly after.
“That is the letter that is coming with the parole to the people of I220. Wait for the owners to pick them up, you are very kind with a good heart,” commented another user.
According to some in the comments to the post, these errors happen frequently.
“I also received an immigration letter in my email. The boy is Colombian. If anyone knows about it, please write to me,” said user Lázaro Carlos Cuesta Rodríguez.
“You should not open other people’s correspondence, it is a federal crime. My court date came with an envelope so it could be a hearing date,” warned another.
At the end of October, some Cubans who have the I-220A form (Order of Parole) began to receive from ICE – without requesting it – an interim parole, that is, a document that will allow them to apply for residency under the Cuban Adjustment Law.
So far there is no official directive from the government on who they will grant it to and who they will not, nor what is the criteria or guide that the authorities are following to deliver such a document, as explained by lawyer José Guerrero in statements to journalist Daniel Benítez , for Univision.
Data from Joe Biden’s administration indicates that since January 2023 more than 52,000 Cubans received authorization to travel to the United States with the humanitarian parole program.
Until September, official figures from the United States Department of Customs and Border Protection (CBP) assured that 50,185 Cubans have already arrived in their country.
Another access route to the country has been crossing borders. CBP detailed in its fiscal year 2023 closing report that there were 200,287 Cubans who requested political refuge on US territory.
